Re: [WISPA] Remote Controlled Drone
Well has any body tested one of these yet? How's the camera res? -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Blake Bowers Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 4:49 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Remote Controlled Drone Let us all know how that works out for you. Key things I noticed when I read the FAQ, 1. the range will be greater if the AR drone is used in wide-open space with few Wi-Fi waves. Now, I am not a great technical wizard, but won't the majority of users from the WISPA mailing list have some of those pesky Wi-Fi waves kicking around? 2. the AR.Drone can maintain STABLE FLIGHT (emphasis added by me) at a height of up to 6 meters / 20 feet. Now, Stable flight would be kind of important when doing anything other than using it as a fun toy I would imagine. I don't see many water tanks under 20 feet - and if I did I carry a ladder. All I was trying to do was get a bit more info out there on the thing, it looks like a GREAT toy, and I am thinking about ordering one just to play around with, but to expect it to be a dependable tool in your toolbox? Buyer beware. They put plenty of warnings in the information on the manufacturers web page, (which is what I posted) so don't expect STABLE FLIGHT more than that 20 feet up, and be pleasently surprised if you get more than the 20 feet. ? What is the range of the AR.Drone? The range of the AR.Drone depends on the environment in which it is being used: the range will be greater if the AR.Drone is used in a wide-open space with few Wi-Fi waves. For information, the average range is 50 meters / 160 feet. ? How high can the AR.Drone fly? Thanks to its many sensors, the AR.Drone can maintain stable flight at a height of up to 6 meters / 20 feet. Since the altitude at which the AR.Drone can fly depends exclusively on the Wi-Fi range, it can fly up to a height of 50 meters / 160 feet. The Altitude limited option in the AR.Drone's settings can be adjusted to restrict the height to 3 meters / 10 feet. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
